Psalms 138

1 David praiseth God for the truth of his Word. 4 He prophesieth that the kings of the earth shall praise God. 7 He professeth his confidence in God.

 138:1 ¶ For David himself. I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: for thou hast heard the words of my mouth. I will sing praise to thee in the sight of the angels:

 138:2 I will worship towards thy holy temple, and I will give glory to thy name. For thy mercy, and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy holy name above all.

 138:3 In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me: thou shalt multiply strength in my soul.

 138:4 May all the kings of the earth give glory to thee: for they have heard all the words of thy mouth.

 138:5 And let them sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord.

 138:6 For the Lord is high, and looketh on the low: and the high he knoweth afar off.

 138:7 If I shall walk in the midst of tribulation, thou wilt quicken me: and thou hast stretched forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies: and thy right hand hath saved me.

 138:8 The Lord will repay for me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: O despise not the works of thy hands.
